Members Of the XJ Owners Group have donated their time, blood, sweat and sleep to produce a CD of "Everything XJ". This is a not-for-profit endeavour, the nominalflat-rate fee is to cover the expense of production and shipping worldwide. Any funds left over after distribution costs are put back into the XJ-Owners community. Past projects include the XJ World Relay and the XJ Shim Pool.

The 3 CD Version 4 set contains 1.78 gigabytes of information, including:

*Computer troubleshooting, Turbo troubleshooting, and consolidated Service Bulletins pertaining to the XJ series.

The biggest addition is XRef: The Yamaha XJ parts cross-reference. Up to this point, the XJCD has been a static reference. The cross-reference is a dynamic database with a Java interface allowing the user to search a part number for a list of all bikes that use that same part. It recognizes updated and superceded part numbers so it will provide a listing of earlier or later models that use a compatible part design. You will require the Java Runtime Environment extensions, at least 1.4.2 to use this feature. (1.5 is included for Windows and Linux/Unix users

Note that XRef only covers models sold in the US for the moment. Phase II of this project will be to include models not sold in the US.

As always, we strive for cross-platform compatibility and understand that this may be running on an ancient slow computer in your garage

Win9x/NT/ME/XP, Mac, Linux/Unix compatibility has been tested. As noted below, XRef will not yet run on classic Mac OS. Windows 95 Rev. B is compatible if long filename support is enabled.

Classic Mac OS users please note: Unfortunately, Apple is not supporting Java past version 1.1 on their classic operating systems like OS 8 and OS9, so XRef is not compatible with those systems. We are working on development of a classic-Mac compatible version and will release an update if we are successful.
